The Canadian Armed Forces have confirmed that Private Aidan Goulding of North Vancouver and Private Hayden Lykkemark of Langley have tragically died at CFB Wainwright. In this moment of profound heartbreak, as British Columbians and Canadians, let’s wrap our arms around their families, supporting them and joining in the mourning of this horrible tragedy.
My heart is with the families waiting for news after the tragedy at CFB Wainwright, and with the first responders, doctors and nurses caring for the injured. We’ve offered Alberta all the help British Columbia can give. Please hold our Armed Forces members and their families close today.

What a mountain of horseshit lol
Karoline Leavitt is revealing what White House reporters told her once the cameras stopped rolling. The former press secretary says journalists privately apologized for asking “unfair” questions and admitted some of their briefing room confrontations were “performative.”

NEW - CBC News has learned a deal has been reached to merge CentreBC with the BC Conservatives. Lorne Doerkson will lead the party, and candidates will run under the Conservative banner. An announcement is expected shortly. #bcpoli

You're free to be upset at Eby for the early election call all your want. But this moment has ripped the curtain wide open on the crazyparty on the right of centre. They must not govern. This is your chance to #voteNDP harder than ever and kick this #frankenparty to the curb.

Boyfriend, or I should say former boyfriend, walked out on me without a word today. Didn't even say he was going. Because I dared to fart in his presence. Still laughing.

Props to @cbcradio BC for spinning up its emergency management broadcast plan. They preempted all programming hours ago to go live with continual Civil Defence.

Replying to @icbc
@ICBC is doing this to a friend: He has an accident. Makes a claim. They refuse to pay for repairs (even tho he has collision insurance) and now want him to sign over his car to them and they'll tell him how much they'll give him for his car.

After the fact. Cosmetic damage only. Car is driveable. Can he withdraw his ICBC claim? Anybody know?

We are heartbroken by the sudden loss of Mike Coyle yesterday while mountain biking. Having started with us almost 27 years ago, he leaves a lasting mark on our team. He will be dearly missed. RIP, Mike. Our deepest sympathy is with Sylvia, Eamon, and all his family and friends.

Not convinced he doesn’t think this is a real possibility. Like nuking a hurricane, injecting bleach or turning on a tap so water runs down to California.

A “view” of the thunderstorm over the Strait of Georgia that’s been producing lightning over the last 30 minutes with thunder heard… Lightning observed from the YVR control tower. Me, at the airport waiting for my flight to Calgary. #BCStorm #BCStormWatch #BCWX #YVRwx
